DAOC: Uthgard 2.0 - Hibernia P99 Group

[Nymphomancer]

How are rangers? I'm kinda interested in trying this out but so few of Hib's classes look interesting to me.

They're considered a Stealther type; Stealth, Bows, self-buffs, however they won't get a group easily according to some. I'd suggest going with anything other than a stealther type class if you want to learn the game first and roll a Ranger later.

Nice man! We could build a really nice group around you (ench), me (ment), and mrgoochio (druid).

It makes me sad that the end game of DAOC is so elitist with their RVR groups, only inviting certain classes with certain specs but thats the reality i've come to understand.

Midgard is no different, everyone wants certain classes for PVE or RVR.

Keep these updates, I love learning more about Hibernia, whichc class of yours turns into the deer? is it hero? I remember fighting deers

Agreed! Please keep the updates coming, it's interesting to hear/read.

Back on live, coming from EQ where I loved my Rogue, I made a Lurikeen Nightshade. Boy was it rough. It didn't help that I really didnt know anyone else playing the game (me & my guildies were still hardcore in the EQ raid scene) so soloing was such a chore. Think I gave up around lvl 25. Due to that, never really liked Hib. A RL buddy wanted to play but he wanted the Camelot experience so we both made Friars but we didnt stick w/it.

On Uth, I went Midgard. In the beta, its the realm I chose cuz I'd never tried it & I really liked the diversity in races. The classes seemed fun. But Fifield is right, the whole min/max mentality & the elitism kills it for me but I've been having fun playing my Skald (god I love the faster speed!) & my alt a Thane. Hope to cya folks out in RvR. Til then, keep up the updates pls.

They're finally doing something that will help reduce the queue wait times! Until yesterday, players were able to idle in char select for many hours without actually playing, now they've created a timer for it.

That's good to hear. I think the wait timers are definitely putting some people off playing, especially if you can only log on peak- hours.

Another friend of mine is starting up today with an Elf Enchanter, so I've made another char cause I want to test out the Void spec, an Elf Eldritch - names are Froldo and Spazz if anyone wants to group with us right from lvl 1 on up, we'll be starting in Mag Mell.

Uthgard is the most competitive and best PVP Game ever created, if you form an 8 v 8 and have the wrong classes and wrong spec's you are guaranteed to lose every fight.

From what i remember from live DAOC, i was very young mind you, i never hit any 8v8 groups, we always ran around as a guild defending the keeps, defense was our job.

So how does this 8v8 work? like what stops a group from rolling with 12 and just wrecking the dumbasses that only bring 8 people? I never played uthgard 1.0 so not really sure on the way they do things here.

And thanks for the info ahead of time, being a noob to a game like this and learning all over again is probably the best time i've had on mmo's in awhile.
